The Vision Behind Nura

Nura Institute was founded by The Eating Disorder Consultants and Trevor Therapy Training. Our vision is to provide quality trainings that are focused on practical strategies, innovation, compassion, and client attunement. Trainings are focused on professional development that you can use the next day in your office. While our roots are in clinical excellence, our mission is universal: to provide a premier learning home for the entire healthcare community.

We’ve moved beyond education to create a space where Therapists, Doctors, Nurse Practitioners, and Specialists can gather to master their craft. At Nura, we bridge the gap between evidence-based research and the human element of healing.
